Title: Tube switch for a double-cylinder sludge pump.
Inventor: SCHLECHT KARL
IPC: F04B17/00
Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: A tube switch for a double-cylinder sludge pump is provided including a swing pipe, a wearing ring and an elastic member. The swing pipe is adapted to swivel in front of a center plate and includes an extension portion having an inner surface. The wearing ring is supported between the end of the swing pipe and the center plate and is axially movable relative to the swing pipe. The wearing ring has a recess formed at one end thereof, defined by a sloped boundary surface. The swing pipe is adapted to receive the end of the wearing ring including the recess therein. The recess thus defines an annular space between the swing pipe and the wearing ring with the inner surface of the extension portion of the swing pipe facing the annular space. The elastic member includes a radial inner surface and a sloped front end surface that corresponds to the boundary surface of the wearing ring. The elastic member is supported between the swing pipe and the wearing ring within the annular space. The front end surface of the elastic member abuts the boundary surface of the wearing ring. The inner surface of the extension portion of the swing pipe is ridgeless such that generally no portion of the swing pipe contacts the radial inner portion of the elastic member.

Filed: 1993-06-24
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé d'estimation de la densité de C/I et de la probabilité d'interférence dans le trajet montant. Selon l'invention, au moins deux stations de base mesurent de façon synchrone l'intensité d'un signal et l'identité d'un signal dans le trajet montant, dans leurs propres canaux et les canaux des uns des autres. En effectuant des mesures sur une durée suffisamment longue, on obtient une base statistique permettant de savoir comment les intensités de signaux émanant des stations mobiles reliées à une station de base respective sont réparties. A partir de la base, on peut former des fonctions de densité pour l'intensité de signal provenant du trafic et se dirigeant vers sa propre station et, respectivement, vers une autre. Grâce au procédé de mesure synchrone, les fonctions peuvent être normalisées et une fonction de densité C/I ou C/I+N peut être formée, à partir de laquelle peut être calculée la probabilité d'interférence.

Abstract: An electrostatic image on a image member (1) already containing a loose dry first toner image is toned with a second toner, for example, a toner of a second and different color from the first toner image. The toning is accomplished using a developer having a high coercivity permanently magnetized carrier and toner which is moved through a development zone by a rapidly rotating core (104 inside a sleeve (106) on which the developer moves. Pole transitions caused by the rapidly moving core (104) make the high coercivity permanently magnetized carrier move vigorously in a wave motion having alternating crests and troughs. Scavenging of the first toner image is prevented by separating the sleeve from the image member sufficiently that the crests of the developer do not touch the image member during the toning process. An alternating electrical field is applied between the sleeve (106) and the image member (1) to enhance development.

Abstract: In a method for processing ECG-signals for the purpose of detecting low-amplitude signal structures in noise, the ECG-signals from a plurality of cardiac cycles are A/D-converted, and QRS complexes are detected. The signals from at least two cardiac cycles are time-synchronized, whereupon the concordance between these signals in intervals comprising at least two samples is determined, and an output quantity, representing the concordance thus determined, is generated, the magnitude of the output quantity designating the amplitude of the signal structure in question. A device for processing ECG-signals, in a similar manner, comprises means (24) for recording ECG-signals from a plurality of cardiac cycles, A/D-conversion of the signals and detection of QRS complexes. A synchronization unit is arranged to time-synchronize the signals from at least two cardiac cycles, and a calculator unit (10) is arranged to determine the concordance between the signals in time intervals, comprising at least two samples. The output means (12) are, finally, connected to the calculator unit in order to generate an output quantity the magnitude of which designates the amplitude of the signal structures in question.

Abstract: The invention is based on a control system for a heating appliance heated with fuel, especially a water heater, having a mixing device for the fuel/air mixture fed to the burner and a controller which is provided in the exhaust gas duct with a measurement sensor which influences the fuel/air ratio (the air ratio) with the effect of minimising exhaust gas losses. It is proposed that the measurement sensor (14, 16) should be constructed to respond to CO or NOx in the exhaust gas and should detect the volume contents of these exhaust components, and that the controller (18) should be designed so as to control the fuel/air ratio (the air ratio) with the effect of observing, or dropping below to the smallest possible extent, the admissible limit values of CO or NOx. As a result a safety margin with respect to at least one of the exhaust gas components CO or NOx is dispensed with and as a result the loss of exhaust gas or the emission of noxious substances from the combustion is kept as small as possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A plurality of wires W are caused to hang downward substantially in U-shape, such that the ends of wires W to be bound together are closely fixed. The end portions of a plurality of fixed wires W are positioned in the vertical direction by straightener 16 and holder 17 and automatically bound with tape by tape winder 18. 
     The binding position can be determined in the vertical direction, thereby obviating the need to lay wires W over their entire lengths in the conveying direction of the production line. As a result, the distance to lay wires W can be shortened by the hanging amount of wires W, thereby considerably reducing the space required for the installation of the wire binding apparatus.

Abstract: A fuel rod position determination apparatus and a method are presented to enable efficient and accurate determination of the positions of the fuel rods in a fuel assembly in which it is not possible to insert a measuring instrument in a straight line through the fuel assembly. The apparatus first measures the positions of the peripheral fuel rods from the outside of the fuel assembly. This operation is continued by inserting sensors (30) into the assembly through the spaces between the fuel rods (5) so as to measure the profiles of the fuel rods. The positions of all the fuel rods including the interior fuel rods are determined on the basis of the profile data, the reference data formed by the periph- eral fuel rods and the known diameter data of the fuel rods.

Abstract: The pressure head needed to drive combustion air into the combustion region (46) of a heat gun 930) is imparted to the air by a compressor blades (36) driven by a turbine whose blades (32) are interposed in the fuel conduit that leads to the combustion region (46). The expansion of the gaseous fuel, which is obtained from a pressurized source, provides the power to impose the necessary pressure head. The turbine-compressor combination is efficient enough that it can extract from the fuel flow enough power to maintain the necessary pressure head not only on the combustion gas (A₁), which flows through vents (44) in a manifold (43), but also on a larger volume of air (A₂) delivered downstream of the combustion region (46) to dilute the combustion products and thereby cool them to the desired heat-gun output temperature.

Abstract: A system and related method is provided for rapidly repointing spacecraft through the application of a high torque, of a gyroscope in which braking means (20, 22) provided on a gimbal (16, 18) is actuated simultaneously with the actuation of the torque motor (24, 26) to achieve amplification of the control moment imparted to the gyroscope (10). Because only one brake (20, 22) may be actuated at a time in a double gimbal gyroscope system having a single spin wheel (12), actuation of the brake (20, 22) for each of the two axes is sequential. However in a system having redundant torque motors (24, 26), re-pointing of the spacecraft may be achieved using the simultaneous braking and torque application method of the present invention without increasing the repointing time by applying torque to a gimbal (16) rotating about one axis of the first spin wheel (12) at the same time that torque is applied to a gimbal (18) rotating around the orthogonal axis of the redundant spin wheel (12).
